Microsoft announces a disc-less Xbox Series X console in white (www.theverge.com)

The new console option won’t include a disc drive, and will be entirely all-digital. Inside it’s identical to the Xbox Series X, with the same performance for existing Xbox games. This new white model will be available with 1TB of storage later this year, priced at $449.99....

lud,

Don’t you communists like that though?

lud,

They like ownership?

lud,

But if one person owns a lot of games and someone else doesn’t isn’t that bad?

lud,

I use them for my game controller and my wireless mouse but that’s about it.

lud,

It’s probably not gonna cost 60€ in a year anyways so that’s great for anyone that wants to play the game

lud,

And inflation is insane nowadays.

Personally I’m gonna stick with my desktop and Deck

lud,

Maybe but that doesn’t mean that the value of currency has returned to where it was. Unless there has been some deflation that I’m not awake of.

lud,

Personally I don’t really mind the DLCs in paradox games.

The DLCs fund the smaller free updates and they are optional. If you want to regularly get more content for the games you love it might be worth the 20 euro (or whatever) and you absolutely don’t need to buy every single one just the ones with features and content you like.

Basically the options are: more new paid features and some new free features or no new features.

lud,

Is there anything pointing to that in this case?

lud,

Louis is clickbaity as fuck though.

lud,

I liked his content a while back. Now it’s just click and ragebait.

lud,

What’s up with Lemmy and Reddit users having to justify when they pirate stuff? Most of the time I simply don’t give a shit. I do keep in mind that it’s a “wrong” thing to do though. I don’t go around thinking I’m superior and that I’m fighting the evil corporations when I don’t. Some Lemmy/Reddit users seriously seem to think that.

lud,

I pirate myself but if you play the game in some way how haven’t they earned your money?

If you want to boycott do it with some backbone at least. Don’t play the fucking game and don’t talk about it whatsoever.

lud,

I absolutely agree that this will lead to more piracy, and I might pirate it myself for this reason.

Warning: the rest of the comment is just a rambling rant and nothing is directed at you specifically.

But I think it’s a terrible justification. If you want to read the worst takes on piracy go to r/piracy or the Lemmy equivalent on the db0 instance. Most users on there really think that they are in some way entitled to a game and they genuinely try and justify their piracy is a million different ways. Usually the argument is basically “company did bad thing so give me your game for free”

It’s like they would like to have some moral high ground, which I believe doesn’t exist.

I think piracy is wrong because actual people worked on the games and they need to earn a living and a fuck ton of money and resources was spent on making the games. I don’t agree that piracy is the same as stealing but somewhere along those lines. I don’t need to publicly justify piracy, I just do it when I feel like it’s appropriate considering stuff like money and wants For example I have automatic downloads of movies and TV shows and multiple terabytes of pirated movies and shows.

The only time where I could agree that piracy might be completely justified and not bad in the slightest is the piracy of stuff like knowledge like science papers that were published in a journal that demands fuck tons of money and give backs nothing to the author(s)

lud,

No, reviews are per account. A single account can post multiple reviews for the same thing (obviously)

lud,

Sadly emulation is seemingly non-existent for newer consoles like PS4 and Xbox one (PS3 is pretty emulatable but fairly demanding, Xbox 360 emulation is last I checked still pretty poor) Luckily most of the games on newer consoles are released on PC.

lud,

Maybe eventually but if ever it’s going to take a long ass time.

They are getting better and better at implementing ways to complicate it

lud,

Of course but I doubt it will become as good as the much older consoles anytime soon. Maybe in a decade or two or something.

lud,

Could it not be turned off when it’s not needed (I.E. The game is unpaused.)

And what specifically do you mean by overlay?

Monitors and TVs have been able to overlay some interface elements over the HDMI input since forever. I have never heard of an overlay degrading quality but maybe there are some poor implementations.

lud,

Isn’t it just because it’s still very new?

lud,

Keanu Reeves really helped promote the game though.

lud,

There is actually a way to quickly switch accounts now.

lud,

I think it’s also that the people that want the games but haven’t bought a PS4 or 4 after so many years would never buy one, so they might as well sell just the games to them.

lud,

Press release from Epic including the correspondence between Epic and Apple: epicgames.com/…/apple-terminated-epic-s-developer…

lud,

Both games have been on steam for at least a few years now.

lud,

They presumably want gamepass or they want to stream to twitch from their console. Not sure.

lud,

Doesn’t the remaster smooth out the breasts? Looks like it.

lud,

I don’t understand why anyone would want to travel between point A and B and point B and A. Can’t they just make up their mind about where they want to be?

I just want to live at point D and spend a pleasant amount of time at point E

lud,

Looks great! I really liked the first game!

I hope it also comes to PC. I suspect I will come out after 6-12 months after the PS5 version, maybe even at the same time if I’m lucky. Unfortunately I’m never lucky.

lud,

Additionally, this has resulted in bait-and-switch-like situations, where users would prepurchase Steam copies of games, only to be informed that they wouldn’t be getting them.

I didn’t know about this.

It happened to Metro Exodus (great game btw) but iirc all pre orders were honoured and the game was just delisted.

Has it happened after that?

lud,

My main problem with the steam deck is probably portability and battery life. I have used it very seldom on the train to work, but I imagine it would be very cumbersome.

I will try it again when I am finally done with TOTK on my switch.

And then there is always the question: Is the steam deck really an unique gaming platform when it’s really just a small laptop.

lud,

Yeah, I am really tired of the double dipping attempts of trying to sell the game twice.

lud,

And to be clear, that list is far from complete.

There are loads of steam games without DRM and those that use DRM mostly use the Steam provided one that sucks if one actually wants to crack it. It basically only protects against casual copy attempts.

lud,

Cities skylines 2 has mixed used, or at least the mini trailers and dev diaries says so

Well, Cities: Skylines 2 is here, and it's another broken game release. angielski

I don’t really understand how people make the review threads, but we’re sitting at a 77 on OpenCritic right now. Many were worried about game performance after the recommended specs were released, but it looks like it’s even worse than we expected. It sounds like the game is mostly a solid release except for the...

lud,

Not sure how the point about Kickstarter is relevant but it’s not Steams fault devs are releasing unfinished games.

And I wouldn’t say it went straight to bad digital preorders. I feel like that is a more recent phenomenon and digital preorders were better years ago.

lud,

My fps is also around that in CS 1 and honestly it hasn’t bothered me that much unless I look at the fps counter. While it would be nice to have 60 FPS, I don’t think much about it while actually playing.

lud,

Not sure about my absolute favorite, but the first games to come to mind when thinking about OSTs is Battlefield 1 and V. The music in those games is amazing.

Johan Söderqvist and Patrik Andrén are great!

I also like the Ace Combat series in general.

lud,

That song is so good!

I can’t resist singing in peudo latin.

Use of AMD Anti-Lag+ technology in Counter Strike 2 will result in a VAC Ban, Valve confirms (videocardz.com) angielski

AMD has made an oversight in implementing their new technology that poses a significant issue for Counter Strike 2 players who have opted to utilize AMD’s AntiLag+. Recently, AMD introduced a new 23.10.1 driver allowing players to access this technology in the game. However, it has now been confirmed that utilizing this...

lud,

It’s of course easier to ban something that modifies game files without hiding it, than it is to ban something that tries its very best to hide its very existence.
